I'm selling my Silver Metrum Pavane R2R ladder DAC, in perfect cosmetic and functional condition. I am the original owner. Purchased directly from Metrum Acoustics. Operated in a non smoking dedicated room.

Fit 'n Finish
- The Pavane is an R2R ladder DAC, supporting SPDIF, XLR, BNC, Optical, USB and I2S inputs; and RCA or XLR outputs
- It comes with a USB module installed but an I2S module is provided in the box for 5 minute plug and play installation in place of the USB Module. See pictures illustrating simple single screw installation of modular unit.
- The top panel is a sandwich of steel and 4 millimetres of tempered black coated glass and giving it a very distinctive look.

Sound Footprint
- This DAC is special! It gives your digital music more weight, body and tonal richness; as well as outstanding clarity and inner detail.
- Sounds like liquid Plasma - the sound is so effortless; rich in tone; thick and resonant.
- It provides a natural sense of the space in the recording; doing a wonderful job of presenting even the most complex music in a natural and inviting manner with every last ounce of nuance intact.
- Dynamic attack can be startling, sounds don't appear... they are JUST THERE!
- The interesting thing to me was that the Pavane presents well recorded music in glorious detail, but also presents poor recordings in a natural framework to be easily listenable. Best of both worlds.
- With a Noise floor or -155 db the Pavane is dead quiet with a black background.

Comes with remote, I2S module plus USB, original packaging.

Sells for $4800 new. Will entertain reasonable offers.
